# How To Make It:
01 - Set oven temperature to 350°F and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
04 - Stir in cheddar cheese, bell peppers, onions, bacon, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly distributed throughout.
05 - Pour the egg mixture into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately two-thirds full to allow for rise during baking.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and lightly golden. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should emerge clean when done.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully loosen edges with a thin knife if needed and remove muffins from tin.
08 - Serve warm immediately, or cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in microwave before serving.
